Kinda Love, A Poetic Piece by Jellissa Bush

To the guy I saw in Applebee’s down the street during happy hour on June 22, 2012 I swear I’m not a stalker (smile)
When you came up to my table and asked to buy me a drink I order the first thing I saw on the menu. I don’t even know what a long island iced tea is. Just know that when I heard you speak my body tensed and all I could do was smile.  You asked for my name and yes I was shell shocked for a while…. Shortly after my drink arrived, as I sipped I tried to organize my thoughts as to how I would approach you, and I think I got it…..hi, thanks….that’s all I got. What I meant to say is I only came by to hear your voice again, but instead of saying that, I just exposed a sweet soft smile paid for my previous order and walked away……saw you weeks later and I think I got better…..hey , how are you? His forehead I don’t know how to do this.
You see I want that….. My friends think I’m crazy kinda love, that reckless kinda love, that wake up early make you breakfast kinda love. That crack open my life hey you gotta see this, share my secrets and never let you go kinda love. That babe you want the rest of this? I want that………..you come upset and I already know what to do kinda love. That stay up late saying absolutely nothing kinda love, that I can’t keep my eyes off you kinda love, you see I want love. I want that call you just to hear your voice kinda love. That send you flowers just because, that wash our drawers together kinda love…….now that’s love…and cost effective
I want you to bite my lip until I can no longer speak. I want your kiss to suck and lick away all the grim from my past relationship so his name will no longer come up in our conversations. I want you……I want you to spring up on me like a afternoon, slowly as if you were a broken sunset with a lazy skyline, and I want to come to me like sun rays in mid-June and in return I kiss the sunlight from your skin. I want you to make me high….high like ecstasy with no worries, problems or issues, and later just sit there in my high. I want you to ease on me like warm lotion caressed in my smooth cleansed skin after a long shower after an even longer day. I want you next to me like a shadow on Groundhog Day. I want to (breathe deeply) partake in your breath face to face before a passionate kiss after a romantic date. Walking hand and hand by the water someplace as your footprints intertwine on cool sand…..I want you
I want you, and I don’t even know you. I don’t know your favorite color, what make you tick, or even what makes you smile, just know that your presence and the mere thought of you makes me wild. Your aura is everything, and I just want that that that……feeling. I want that John legend, Robin Thicke medley type feel. That can you believe that were ordinary people but tonight I’ll be the best you’ll ever had. I don’t wanna brag but I could be your everything
